Dear family of our =
Lord Jesus Christ,

God Bless you and y=
ours! Thank you for stopping by for a CUP!

If you do not have Godly=
 
integrity, you have nothing.

Your integrity is =
made stronger or weaker by those who you surround yourself with.

Proverbs 2:6-8 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come kn=
owledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is=
a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and=
watching over the way of his saints.

That really could be a picture of me danci=
ng for joy with Buffy and Reno! That is how I feel this day, most days I fe=
el like this! But last night after spending it with the Men at Valley View =
Christian Church in Edgewood, NM, it was a spiritual high! AMEN! I filled i=
n for Pastor Leonard Navarre in leading the group. We had a room full of me=
n that love the Lord and want to be 
strengthened in=
the Lord. I love to be with people that want to grow in the ways of the Lo=
rd! They hunger for more……..they did not want to leave after I got done=
Teaching on integrity. The room sat silent for awhile…….and then =
questions and comments……..and laughter and love! We also prayed ov=
er each other. What a night in the LORD! I will add here that there is such=
freedom in this Church! 

What do I me=
an by that? Freedom for people to express themselves, without judgement.&nb=
sp;

It all starts with Godly leadershi=
p, and Valley View has Godly leadership in Pastor’s Brandon Shaffer and&nbs=
p;
Leonard&nb=
sp;Navarre. They both treat me with the love of Jesus.

The men last=
night encouraged each other in our Lord, and they encouraged me! 

I encourage you to re-read yesterdays CUP =
on Integrity and also 
forward it to as many people =
as you can!

If you would like me to come and Preach/Te=
ach on Integrity at your Church or group just email me! 

We cannot continue to fully acquire=
Christlike virtues until we first make GODLY integrity the GRANITE FOUNDAT=
ION of our lives. In some cases this may require us to go through the painf=
ul process of ripping out the existing foundation built upon deceit and rep=
lacing it stone by stone with a foundation of Godly integrity.

Dear friend Sonja sent this devotio=
nal into me yesterday, it is so AWESOME! It got me all fired up in the LORD=

God=E2=80=99s Money-Back Guarantee
Mary Southerland
Today=E2=80=99s Truth
=E2=80=9CI will give thanks to your name for your unfailing love and fait=
hfulness, because your promises are backed by all the honor of your name=E2=
=80=9D (Psalm 138:2, NLT).
Friend to Friend
I love money-back guarantees. We once bought a car to replace a van that =
had 125,000 miles on it. Our first vacation in the new car was a disaster. =
We began having trouble the very first day. On our way home, we stopped in =
four different cities, trying to find a mechanic who could repair the car. =
No one could explain or even find the problem. Needless to say, we were not=
happy campers. But when we returned home and contacted the dealership, we =
were told that because of the guarantee on the car, we could get our money =
back or trade it in for another one. Loved it!
Did you know that there is a money-back guarantee on every promise of God=
? Here it is in Psalm 138:2: =E2=80=9CI will give thanks to your name for y=
our unfailing love and faithfulness, because your promises are backed by al=
l the honor of your name=E2=80=9D (nlt).Now if those words are true, why do=
we find it so hard to experience true peace and contentment in our lives?

I know life can be hard. Some of you are in so much pain that it is hard =
to breathe. But God knows where you are and what you are going through =E2=
=80=93 and you really can trust Him. The apostle Paul had a firm grip on th=
is truth.
=E2=80=9CI have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know =
what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have lear=
ned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fe=
d or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want=E2=80=9D (Philippians 4:11=
b-12, NIV).
Paul understood and lived by the truth that God is constantly at work in =
and around us, monitoring every step we take. Paul examined every circumsta=
nce, understanding that it had already passed through His Father=E2=80=99s =
hands with His permission. God came through for Paul, and He will come thro=
ugh for you. To find real security and contentment we must learn to search =
for the handprints of God in the every day circumstances of life.
Paul had every human right to be angry with God. After all, Paul had been=
faithful. He had given up much and endured great pain. And yet the undercu=
rrent theme of this passage is gratitude. It is an attitude chosen by Paul.=
It is a learned perspective. In this verse, =E2=80=9Clearned=E2=80=9D impl=
ies that Paul was educated by experience. In other words, Paul is saying th=
at all of his experiences in life, good and bad, have become his tutor in c=
ontentment.
The word =E2=80=9Ccontent=E2=80=9D can best be defined as =E2=80=9Ccontai=
ned.=E2=80=9D Don=E2=80=99t miss this. Paul had trained himself to focus on=
hisinner resources, the resources his heart contained rather=
than the outward circumstances of life. He chose to be grateful. He chose =
to praise God =E2=80=93 period. We hear his determination in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 when he says, =E2=80=9CNo matter what h=
appens, always be thankful, for this is God=E2=80=99s will for you who belo=
ng to Christ Jesus=E2=80=9D (nlt).
There is an old poem that captures this idea well:
=E2=80=9CI rejoice in knowing that
 There is no oil without squeezing the olives,
 No wine without pressing the grapes,
 No fragrance without crushing the flowers
 And no real joy without sorrow.=E2=80=9D (Author unknown)
Gratitude not only brings contentment, it brings perseverance and produce=
s strength. God entrusts trials to us, giving us the opportunity to choose =
gratitude. It is easy to practice gratitude when the seas are calm and the =
skies are clear. The real test of gratitude is in the midst of the greatest=
storm of our lives.
In Africa there is a fruit called the =E2=80=9Ctaste berry.=E2=80=9D When=
eaten it changes a person=E2=80=99s taste buds so that everything tastes g=
ood and sweet. Gratitude is the =E2=80=9Ctaste berry=E2=80=9D in our spirit=
ual lives. When our hearts are filled with gratitude, we will find contentm=
ent. Choose to practice gratitude.
Gratitude is wrapped around trust and contains the element of acceptance.=
Gratitude understands that God is sovereign and that His ways are not our =
ways. There will be times when we find it impossible to understand His proc=
ess, but we can always trust His heart. Remember, there is a money-back gua=
rantee on every promise of God.
Let=E2=80=99s Pray
Father, I come to You, confessing that I tend to have a heart that is fil=
led with whining and complaining instead of gratitude. Please forgive me. H=
elp me learn to see Your hand at work in my life. I want to trust You even =
when I don=E2=80=99t understand my circumstances. Right now, I choose to pr=
aise You, Lord.
In Jesus=E2=80=99s name,
Amen.
Now It=E2=80=99s Your Turn
By faith, accept the truth that God is always at work in your life and th=
ank Him for His steadfast provision. Look back over the last few days, week=
s and months of your life.  Now praise Him for the things He has done.=
Identify the people or things in your life that you tend to think of and =
rely upon as sources of security and contentment. 
Read Proverbs 3:5-6. What are the steps listed in=
this passage that =E2=80=93 when taken =E2=80=93 will produce contentment?=
What hedges of protection can you put in place today that will prepare yo=
u to face tomorrow with security and contentment?

Saturday night 6pm Dewey and Friends KAZQ Ch 32 my guest =
is Pastor Tom Bozone as we prepare for Easter Resurrection Sunday

March 15, 2013. You are precious to me. Think about this. You are not who you once were. N=
ow, in Christ, you are living a new life while in your same body. I have gi=
ven you the ability to look on heavenly realities where I sit. Therefore, y=
ou are invited to “Come sit with Me beside our Father at His right hand.” T=
here could be no greater honor! So here is My question to you. “Why waste y=
our time and energy thinking about earthly things when you and I can see an=
d speak with one another about heavenly things?” Your life as you have know=
n it is dead. I have raised you up into a new life and hidden you with Me i=
n God. So, stop worrying and striving. Raise your sights.
 
Colossians 3:2-3 (NLT) “Since you=
have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities=
of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Th=
ink about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to th=
is life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.” Ras=
